This course investigates the use of technology in conducting and
transforming assessment practices. Participants will learn about
technologies that support both formal and alternative/authentic
assessments including: tests, portfolios, observation tools,
self-assessments, and whole class assessments. The roles of assessment in
student learning and for meeting an educational organization's needs will
be explored. Participants will design balanced assessment programs that
both prove and improve student achievement, and will use multiple methods
to evaluate appropriate uses of instructional technology in schools.
